My Saturday In San Francisco
Saturday is a relaxing day for a late morning breakfast overlooking the Bay, lunch near dinner, and dinner near bedtime. In between the kitchen encounters a glass of champagne gets me by for now. Of course the day cannot be made comfortable without having my pillows strategically propped against the head board so that the angle for viewing old movies playing on TCM is correct. Movies like "Destination Tokyo" and Cary Grant as the sun rises over the Bay bridge or "Key Largo" with Edward G. Robinson, (Oh what a gangster.), for breakfast or "White Heat" with James Cagney with fruit and coffee on a T.V. tray, snacks and "CasaBlanca" with heart throb Humphrey Bogart warming me up for the "Maltese Falcon" with Bogey starring again. Transfixing the conscious mind on long ago famous phrases and scenes consumes so much energy that I require 10 to 15 minute naps to recoup and rebuild depleted energy reserves.
This was a short note that I inserted between eating, napping and time traveling backward to the time of true fashion, elegance, and short meaningful lines that are no longer uttered by the best actors/actress of our "modern" time. What are you doing on Saturday?
This was My Saturday in San Francisco.
Weekends Over
It's morning time and the Ferry's are arriving from all points of the Bay bringing business men and women to the Financial District of San Francisco. Some passengers are walking off the ferries then through the double doors passed Pete's Coffee with a Monday morning glaze over their face like they have a mission in mind; probably an early morning meeting presentation or maybe an interview with a potential new employer. Good luck to all I say as each searches for creative ways to trade their time for someone else's freedom.
Parking In San Francisco
It's a solemn day in the City after free parking went the way of the doe doe bird.
